• Identify if an image needs alternative text
• Guide faculty on how to write alternative text as they are the experts on their faculty
• Ensure alternative text is added to course content

Treat the criteria below as a checklist when reviewing content.

• Images should have meaningful and concise alternative text or captions.
• Try to use captions whenever possible to provide all students with information.
  • If you have a caption be sure to add as alt-text “Refer to caption for more information”
• When writing alternative text, do not use the phrase “image of”, “picture of”, or similar wording. This is considered redundant as screen readers know when it encounters an image.
